AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Renault has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 19,800 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring tyre and brake advisories, combined with the low mileage, present significant risks.
The vehicle shows only 19,800 miles over 14 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 19,800 miles over 14 years (Jul 2018, 47,532 mi).
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre tear (Jul 2018, 32,148 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- Mileage anomaly: Only 19,800 miles recorded over 14 years (Jul 2018, 47,532 mi).
- Low annual usage: Average of 1,491 miles/year (May 2022, 43,972 mi) — potential for long periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded.
- Consistent retesting and immediate resolution of failures and advisories.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
